I went to a bar and my ex walked in with a date

r/

We broke up 2 months ago, it was my choice but I still have feelings, he just wasn’t emotionally safe.

Tonight I went to a bar with friends and he walked in with a date and sat next to me (he didnt see me) I completley internally freaked out, I wouldnt wish this pain anyone.

I nudged him and he was like a deer in headlights, he said he feels terrible. He then left shortly after and said he was so sorry that it wasnt fait for either of us and what are the odds that we end up in the same bar.

I havent stopped crying…

    I’m so sorry to read that. As you said he is not stable, that might been just him trying to deal with it, you have to be strong

    Have y’all been to that bar together before? If that’s the case I would’ve avoided that bar if I was either of you. But also sorry that happened 😬

    It still hurts even if you decided to break it off. It doesn’t make it any easier because you had to make that choice. You are much stronger than you think.

    Please take care of yourself however you can. Cry it out. Let your body do its thing. Lean into your support system. Let the pain pass through you until you hurt a little less. You got this, OP.

    oh god this is nightmare fuel. try to remember that just as he wasn’t emotionally safe for you, he’s likely not with her or anyone else that he dates either.

    i know that wont kill the feelings but it’s a reminder you did what’s best for you. sending hugs 🩷
